This site think that people with visual, audio and other impairments should have access to the same resources and opportunities as everybody else. It's important that the website reflects these values and made the site as accessible as possilble. Text, the site use cascading stylesheets to control presentation, which means content is well structured and easy to access using assistive technology. Images, animation and videos If I convey any information using images, infographics or videos, I provide a text desciption so it can be read by screenreaders and assistive technologies.Colours I'’ve designed the pages and chosen colours to make sure the designs don’t make things difficult for people who are colour blind. Testing I've tested content with real people to make sure it meets accessibility standards.
